There was that recent election in California for Katie Hill's seat where his lead grew.Thing is, even if the mail-in ballots flip the election, and Biden wins fair and square without even a whiff of ratfucking... the whole drama proves why mail-in voting is a terrible fucking idea. If the results aren't in within 12 hours of polls closing, the public start getting antsy. Forget Russian bots, if voters think their ballots won't even get counted (or worse, get turfed out in favour of fake ones by party riggers) then faith in democracy is irreperably damaged.
If Trump's up 4 points in Pennsylvania and Michigan at 4am in November 4th and makes a victory speech, who are we to disagree with that?
For mail-in ballots to come in and, for whatever reason, have to get counted over several agonizing days, not only does it look fishy as fuck when the votes trend 2:1 for the alleged loser at the time, but if you were gonna cheat, now you know exactly how many ballots to stuff to get over the line. I can't think of any high-profile mail-in voting delays where said votes went and reinforced a candidate's existing lead and not erode it.
There are plenty of districts within individual states who vote near-unanimously for one party or another, but to tell the country to pause everything to count fucks that couldn't bother wandering into a voting booth on the day? Who by some coincidence, held a preference so distinct from the majority who voted in person?
Madness.
